Worth knowing
Worth checking before work starts
A few rules and checks that apply to this kind of work.
F gas qualifications
By law, anyone who installs, services or repairs air conditioning that contains F gas refrigerant must hold an F gas qualification. In Great Britain, their business must be certified too.
Planning permission
In England, air conditioning that can heat as well as cool may be permitted development if it meets set limits. A system that only cools needs planning permission.
Where the outdoor unit goes
Before anyone quotes, think about where the outdoor unit could sit: it needs space around it for air, and a route for the pipes to the indoor unit. Its position can also decide whether planning permission is needed.
Questions
Air conditioning questions
My job isn't in the list. What should I choose?
Choose the closest job, then explain what you need in the description step.
What jobs can I request quotes for here?
Air conditioning installation, repairs and servicing. The full list is in the form's first step.
Can I request quotes to replace an old air conditioning unit?
Yes. Choose Air Conditioning Installation and describe the unit you have now in the description.
How much does air conditioning cost to install?
It depends on how many rooms you want to cool or heat, the type and size of unit, how far apart the indoor and outdoor units are, and how the pipes and power reach them. Ask each installer to quote for the same rooms, so the quotes compare.
What should I say when my air conditioning needs repairing?
Give the make and model if you can find them, how old the unit is, and what it is doing: not cooling, leaking, noisy or showing an error code. Choose Air Conditioning Repair and put this in the description.
